He has not and he asked me not to post or publish his email address. He posts here, on stereophile.com and on computeraudiophile.com. As I stated, the patch works but (1) you can install it for only one specific USB DAC and (2) it defeats the TOSlink, S/PDIF and analog outputs. It is more of a promise of potential than a real-world app..............................for now.
